In SoC documentation those hardware blocks are named "advanced-control
timers", "general purpose timers" or "basic timers"
"stm32-timer" name is already used for clock source driver, that why I
have prefix it with mfd

Because each instance of the hardware is slightly different: number of
pwm channels, triggers capabilities, etc ..
so I need to distinguish them.
Since it look to be a problem I will follow your suggestion and add a
property this driver to be able to identify each instance.
Do you think that "id" parameter (integer for 1 to 14) is acceptable ?

Only one but I use devm_regmap_init_mmio_clk() to avoid calling
clk_{enable/disable}
everywhere in the drivers when reading/writing regsister.
devm_regmap_init_mmio_clk() find the clock by it name that why I have
put it here
In the doc this clock in named "clk_int" I will use this name.
